WEEK 12.5 #KPI BASKETBALL (as of 1/31/14)

Big Conference Bubble: Of the last 6 teams in the NCAA Tournament (by the #KPI formula) and the first 6 out, all are members of top-1o #KPI conferences (SEC, Pac-12, Big East, Atlantic 10, American, ACC, WCC). All 36 at-large bids currently come from the top-10 conferences (though Toledo and Southern Miss would be IN if they were to fail to win their conference tournament).

Non-Conference Matchups: There are three non-conference games remaining between teams from top-10 #KPI conferences: Villanova-Temple and Michigan State-Georgetown both play Saturday. Gonzaga visits Memphis on Feb. 8.

Scoring Higher in Low-Major Leagues: 7 of the top-11 scoring conferences in conference play are ranked between No. 22 and No. 32 in the conference #KPI. Conferences range between 75.2 PPG (Northeast) and 62.6 PPG (America East).

11.2% of all games involving a Division I team are currently against Non-Division I teams. Division I teams are 412-14 (.967) in those games by a margin of 90.1 PPG to 60.6 PPG. Non-Division I games also count in the #KPI rankings. All games against Non-Division I teams count as one opponent (currently No. 343 in the #KPI).
